quadratic- an equation that uses the exponent ²
vertex- the lowest point of a parabola and also where the line of symmetry crosses
x-intercept- the value of x when y is 0
y-intercept-the value of y when x is 0
increasing- the point(s) when the line of the parabola goes up when you read it from left to right
decreasing-the point(s) when the line of the parabola goes down when you read it from left to right
maximum- the highest point of a parabola
minimum- the lowest point of a parabola
parabola- a U or V shape on a graph with a vertex and a point of symmetry
5.2
Linear functions and quadratic functions have many differences. Linear function equations do not use exponents but quadratic functions do. On a graph, a linear function's points would form a line while a quadratic function's points would form a U or V shaped parabola.

The football created a downward U shape as it flew through the air. It is a U shape because the exponent tells me it is a quadratic equation and it is downward facing because the a-value is negative
Vertex = (75, 22)
The x-coordinate of the vertex, 75, represents that this is the middle of the total distance the football was across the field
The y-coordinate of the vertex, 22, represents that when the football was thrown 75 feet across it was 22 feet in the air

The path of the tennis ball goes up and then comes down.
h(1) = 27. This means that after 1 seconds, the ball is 27 ft in the air.
The y-intercept of h(t) is (0, 3). This means that at 0 seconds after the ball is hit it is 3 ft above the court.
The vertex is (1.25, 28) The x-coordinate 1.25 represents how many seconds the ball is in the air and the y-coordinate 28 represents the height of the ball after 1.25 seconds.
The x-intercepts of h(t) are (-2.57,0) and (0.07,0). This means that at -2.57 and 0.07 seconds, the tennis ball is still at 0 ft in the air
